toronto international film festival 07
by Kenneth R. Morefield
Toronto holds the most important film festival in North America, allowing studios to generate early awards buzz for winter favorites and independent filmmakers to get their films seen and (possibly) distributed to a wider audience.  This year’s crop of films promises something for everyone to look forward to as we approach the fall film season.

of swords & plowshares, stocks & sheepskin
by William Graddy
Sometime in retirement I may write an essay on the early 21st century university as the new "peaceable kingdom."  The natural enemies, the lions and lambs that have somehow learned to lie down together in ivy at least, are big business and radical postmodernity in the humanities and social sciences.

ghosts
by Zach Kincaid
I like the Orthodox. They have ghosts. Catholics do too. They roam about and remind the living that death is not conclusive. Many also say that ghosts revenge the deeds not done while dragging skin and bone around. But, when Protestants entered, they killed off the haunts by theologizing souls springing to heaven, a presumptuous and boring end.

virtue reality
by Rich Mullins
Virtues are funny things. They are the fruit of faith and, whenever paraded, become parodies of themselves and the worst kind of vanity imaginable. When they are not the fruit of faith they become its greatest obstacle.

wonder & imagination: part 1
by Zach Kincaid
Abraham Joshua Heschel and Gilbert Keith Chesterton. My hope is that we’ll discover them a little bit over the course of several articles and that their works might guide us to a place of wonder about an almighty God and his call into our lives.
